The pilot about a Broadway composer and his latest musical, penned by Tony Award-winning Red playwright John Logan, was likely "too narrow" in focus to appeal to broad audiences, according to a report on Deadline.com.

Beyond the theatrical trimmings, "The Miraculous Year" also focused on the multi-generational goings-on in the composer's powerful New York family.
